application of skills and knowledge. In aligning assessments withlearning outcomes, some assessments may be more appropriate than others; quiz questions maybe sufficient for outcomes that are worth being familiar with but projects may be necessary toassess course enduring understanding. All learning outcomes should be assessed in some mannerappropriate to the importance of that outcome.The final step involves developing the instructional or lesson plan and activities. These shouldprepare students to be successful on the assessment activities and achieve the learning outcomesof the course. These may include a variety of course activities, lectures, peer instruction, as wellas key material and skills deemed important by the instructor.Although the

We plan tocontinue this collaboration with ASP for other core courses in the CS curriculum and believe thisprocess would be fruitful for other institutions similar to ours.Holistically, the approach we took of focusing on community and student well-being through theinterventions we placed seemed to have worked well, as previously
understanding how families engage as engineers through their localways of knowing and sense making of their natural environment. As we illustrate, familiesutilized three common heuristic patterns: (a) person-centric, (b) material-based, and (c) place-based. The results of this study have implications for how program developers and practitionersengage children and their families in engineering practices and design processes. These aredetailed at the conclusion of this paper.As research regarding children’s problem exploration heuristics is limited, we include relevantscholarship that highlights the development and implementation of engineering instruction inelementary classroom settings with a focus on the problem and planning stages of an

Additionally, Adobe Captivate allows for thecreation of interactive quizzes, user selected pathways, and has a simple user interface to interactwith the content. The ability to implement a wider range of video features in Adobe Captivatewas paired with the tracking abilities of the course’s Canvas learning management system. Thisallowed for tracking of student engagement with the video. Additionally, quizzes were designedto allow for open-ended work to be turned in through Canvas to be graded. By integrating AdobeCaptivate in Canvas an extremely wide range of learning activities could

The twoPD facilitators are K-12 STEM outreach specialists and have a wealth of experience in this area.As part of the PD, facilitators employed an open door policy that encouraged teachers to reachout for additional support as needed even outside of scheduled sessions.

Teachers were expected to develop lesson plans tailored to theirstrength areas and were able use the PD sessions to garner additional feedback from thefacilitators.
